She also talks about how much more she makes than her husband in a way that seems almost belittling. I wonder if she does that to him.
Lizzie - I'm feeling good today, thanks. Things are still a little confusing but it looks like my parents are leaning more towards trying counseling than getting divorced. The NOLA thing is looking more like a little vacation than an "OMG I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" type of thing, so I'm considering going again. If I go, even if mom decides to stay longer than I am comfortable with I can come back home on the train and get someone to pick me up.

<div>I would love to buy my future SO nice things! I don't think I would be all "I make more than you, neener neener". </div>
It's not a competition, but we used to joke about me catching up to H cause between promotions and merit raises, I was getting raises every 6 months or so for a few years. I got within $200 of his salary, and then he got promoted and got a big raise - and then his new job in CO took him up even more... now I'm working part time LOL. Back to the bottom
It's unlikely that I'll make more than FI once his career takes off. That would be a pretty big law school fail if I managed to do better as a nanny than he did as an attorney. Not that I plan to do this forever, but for a few more years, probably.
FI jokes that he'd love for me to make more than him, so that he could be a kept man. In all honesty though, neither one of us would care if I made more. He'd be an awesome SAHD.
